Welcome!

Ahhhh, there's nothing like seeing a dark green Poinsettia transform into a rich, velvety red to let you know Christmas is near! I never get tired of seeing this happen. In fact, I am blown away every single year. It's so magical—well, not literally, but it feels like it :)

It has definitely been harder to anticipate the holidays knowing it won't be enjoyable. I've spent every Thanksgiving of my entire life with my family and now whenever my family gathers, my mother's absence only intensifies. It makes the harsh reality that much more real. But...even with her gone, I know I still have so many things to be thankful for. And they are definitely worth celebrating.

I've learned over time that succulents don't do so well in colder weather, and even if Hawaiʻi never really gets that cold, don't chance it. Bring the babies in! Keep them indoors, but make sure they still get a good amount of light and air flow.

You know when an irritating song gets stuck in your head and you just wanna pluck your eyeballs out 'cause you can't get it to stop? Well, that ain't the case here! Aaliyah's "If Your Girl Only Knew" popped into my head a few days ago and it's been on repeat since then. I just stumbled upon these sweet remixes on Youtube. Totally chill and perfect additions to my design playlist.

To celebrate the new season of The Walking Dead (that I feel like I've been waiting years for), here are some old memes I recently found on my phone from the S4 finale. To all the TWD fans, tell me not, that high school musical meme is hilarious!! Can't wait for tonight!

I haven't been to the Honolulu Museum of Art in years. I'm pretty sure the last time I visited the museum was back in my first year of college because of an assignment for my art class. My friend Janel wanted to gain some inspiration, so I tagged along and it turned out to be such a needed break from current hardships in my life (thanks Nelly!).

Well, this blog has obviously been neglected. The year's almost over and here I am, finally putting up my first post of 2014. So much has happened and I don't even know where to begin...I'll save that for another post one day maybe. Let's just continue this thing starting from today...
